But that's the whole point, isn't it? The pieces that were not bought were usually given to me by friends and relatives. Sticking to this constraint means that the items are usually broken. My constraint is usually to pay no more than 2% of the latest catalog MSRP. Virtually all of the pieces were bought on eBay. But for my money (which it is), I am an HP connoisseur and simply can't bear to let one of their pieces perish if the price is right. Each major manufacturer had their own ways of doing things which often times were strikingly unique.
Other major vendors include Tektronix, Fluke and Wavetek. HP equipment makes up the largest subset by far (> 150 pieces). Maybe even in the time it takes you to read this page. There are currently 446 pieces in my collection.
Almost every piece in the collection that I received broken has been successfully repaired and restored to original specifications. But compared to most equipment made after 1990, for which "repair" means "board replacement," these earlier pieces offer a fun and usually solvable challenge. On the other hand, they sometimes used custom ICs that are only very rarely now available. Manufacturers like HP and Tektronix usually prepared exquisite service manuals, something unheard of today. Most of the collection dates from what I consider to be the peak period in repairable semiconductor based test equipment, 1970 to 1990. This is my (ever changing) collection of old test equipment. Note: New/modified repair notes are not individually listed as latest additions since they occur too frequently to keep track of them all! WHAT'S NEW? LATEST ADDITIONS TO THIS WEBSITE: Now there are probably several hundred people that occasionally visit this website and I am sure that some do not like my style. But as I gave the address to a few friends and colleagues, it became clear that my audience was larger than just one, and they seemed to enjoy my commentary on the equipment. I wrote it in an irreverent style because I was the only one who was ever going to see it.
